What delicious fun we had in Madison. Last Sunday we shared a kitchen with the Underground Food Collective and The Glass House Supper Club for an intimate dinner for twenty held at Bradbury’s Coffee downtown. It was a convergence of three supper clubs, and how many cuisines were represented in the food, we cannot be sure. Like any Hapa Kitchen menu, it was all mixed up.

Happy New Year and hello, hello, hello again! It’s been a long holiday break for the Hapa Kitchen team, but we’re heading into February with a number of events lined up in the coming weeks. First off, we’re thrilled to be collaborating with our friends at Underground Food Collective with a dinner in their hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. The UFC recently paid their third visit to Brooklyn with a series of winter dinners, brilliantly focused around the theme of “preservation.” We did not preserve a mouthful on our plates.

New York, NY, October 15, 2009
Loving Day and Hapa Kitchen host a multicultural community fundraising dinner, whose timing coincides with the national outrage surrounding the denial of a marriage license for an interracial couple in Louisiana.
Ken Tanabe, founder of The Loving Day Project (http://www.lovingday.org) in conjunction with Hapa Kitchen (http://www.hapakitchen.com) is pleased to announce a fundraiser to support the Loving Day Project on October 24, 2009.
This Friday, we’re excited to be cooking in the kitchen of our good friends at Whisk & Ladle Supper Club. Our collaborative, “guest chef” meal will make use of the plentiful vegetables of early fall, though of course with many hapalicious twists. Focusing on seafood and classic French inspiration, here are the courses we will be serving up.

We threw our second collaboration with BKLYN Yard and Finger on the Pulse last Friday, and for it, we roasted two suckling pigs (and lots of pork butt) for the first time! Thanks to everyone who attended, ate, helped out, wrote about it (like these blogs), took photos (like Nicky Digital), and put on leis, all in the rain! More photos at our Flickr photostream, and here are some highlights below.

A recipe for one of the canapes is at Not Eating Out in New York, and a recap of the night at The Feedbag.
